Is life really like a shit sandwich?

"Life is like a shit sandwich: The more bread you have, the less shit you have to eat." -- Anon

The preceding maxim is at best only half true.

1. The more bread you have, the bigger your sandwich -- but the same amount of shit.

2. Therefore, the more bread you have, the smaller the percentage of shit you have to eat -- not a smaller quantity, though.

3. Why can't you just scrape off the shit, and eat as much clean bread as possible?

Maybe you've already had your epiphany, and see where I'm going with this. The trick is not necesarily to have more bread. The "trick" is to be in a position to make your own damned sandwich, so you don't have to keep choosing between eating these shit sandwiches someone else is giving you or fasting!

Doesn't that seem a bit obvious once someone points it out to you? Well, Sparky...that's an example of the power of asking the right questions!

Now go brush your teeth!
